Alabama District 29 Sen. Donnie Chesteen (R-Geneva) has officially announced his re-election bid for the state Senate.
Chesteen, an educator and coach, will be unopposed in the Republican primary on May 24 but faces Democrat opposition on the November general election ballot as he seeks a second term in the upper chamber.
“G-Tech is critically important because more than half of the students who graduate from high school in Geneva County never attend college. That is what makes this program so important to our entire community,” Chesteen said. “Now, all three of our county’s high schools and Geneva City Schools can offer these students a real opportunity to learn a useful skill or trade that leads to a marketable degree.
He is the architect of Alabama’s Broadband Accessibility Act and continues to work through the Alabama Digital Expansion Authority to bring high-speed internet access to unserved homes in the district and across Alabama. “We are so excited that construction will begin in fall of this year to four-lane Highway 52 from Hartford to Malvern,” Chesteen noted. “The infrastructure and economic impact of this infrastructure project will lead to incredible things for the entire area.”
